About Woods & Water of Sweden
Woods & Water of Sweden, also known as W&W, is a nature tourism company that creates and organizes nature experiences with the hope of strengthening the human relationship with a place, with nature, and with oneself. We are primarily based in our home in Omberg next to Lake Vättern in Östergötland, but we can also make appearances in other locations.
We also lead workshops and offer courses and lectures on how industries, companies, and individuals can live and work for more sustainability and joy of life.

We are here!
Omberg is our home.
For thousands of years, the location has been of great significance to us who have lived in the region. It is for the mountain, the forest, and Lake Vättern, with its history, present, and future, that we welcome you to respectfully experience its magic.
Said by our guests...
"Thank you for this experience of a lifetime. Enjoyed every second!"
"I was actually completely overwhelmed by all the conversations, impressions, thoughts, and places afterward."
"Thank you for allowing us to experience Omberg through your eyes and stories, we would never have understood its value or found the beautiful places without you."
"Thank you for a fabulous, awesome, and lovely kayaking trip to Omberg's caves colored with sunset and historical as well as mythical stories... WONDERFUL evening!"
This is Woods & Water
The energy at Woods & Water can best be described as that of a grandmother who enjoys rock & roll, cozy hangouts, meaningful conversations, and relaxing in nature. For me, Linda, who runs the company, it means that the company is characterized by a way of being that resembles a grandmother – or perhaps a grandfather:
Strongly values future generations
Lives life responsibly and playfully
Lives simply, naturally, and honestly
Lives in the present while preparing for the future
Enjoys storytelling
Cherishes the homeland
Believes children should climb trees and adults should relax more
Warm and inclusive
Doesn't take oneself too seriously
Speaks their mind and stands up for what they believe in
Ages with pride and joy
About me as the founder…
"My mantra and mission are to live for life – this Earth should be cared for and shared with those who live here now and those who come after us. That's why I want to fill life with as much vitality as possible!"
Linda Staaf, founder of Woods & Water
